Hi,

for openstack-* packages in EPEL6 I'd like to reuse upstart jobs from Ubuntu packages e.g. for Swift http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~openstack-ubuntu-packagers/swift/ubuntu/files/h... AFAICT those are licensed under ASL2.0 as the whole Swift, right?

Presumably.

Is this license compatible with Fedora FPCA, which applies to Fedora/EPEL .spec files and, I assume, other files included directly in SRPM ? http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main#License_of_Fedora_SPEC_Files

The information at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main#License_of_Fedora_SPEC_Files is out of date with respect to the FPCA (it was written with the old Fedora CLA in mind).

But anyway, you're describing reusing existing, presumably copyrighted material in an EPEL spec file? That is outside the scope of the FPCA, and so there is no intrinsic problem. See, e.g., the "Non-Goals" paragraph near the beginning of the FPCA.
